Iraq rejects claims it facilitated U.S.–Saudi strikes on Iran-backed groups
Confirmed
What we know
Iraq’s government rejected allegations that it facilitated recent U.S.–Saudi strikes against Iran-backed groups on Iraqi territory, saying it had neither approved nor prior knowledge of the attacks, Anadolu’s July 31 morning briefing reported.
The denial followed this week’s joint U.S.–Saudi strikes in eastern Iraq that PMF sources said killed dozens of fighters—another sign the Iran war’s secondary fronts were straining host-country politics.
